The good folks at InfoQ have released another minibook, 
Mr. Neighborly's 
Humble Little Ruby Book.  The PDF is free, and you can buy a print version for $9.95.
I haven't read it yet, but the description sounds like it would be a good introduction to the language.  I've got 
the 2nd Pickaxe, which is available from 
PragProg.  
The Humble Little Ruby Book is considerably shorter (144 pages versus 864).
Another good, free resource for Ruby is the first edition of 
Programming Ruby, 
available at 
Ruby Docs. You might also check 
Introduction to Ruby on Rails for more resources.
